ancient chalcatzingo • Austin • Published In 1987 • Pages: 21-55

By: Grove, David C., Cyphers, Ann.

Abstract
Grove and Cyphers Guillén systematically describe the excavation of architectural and water control features, graves, and carved stone monuments at the Olmec-influenced highland site of Chalcatzingo. Nearly all surviving Formative period architecture (and, presumably, associated monuments) pertain to the Cantera phase (2700-2500 B.P.).
